UGANDA

Known as the Pearl of Africa due to its sheer physical beauty, Uganda covers 235,80 sq.km, including National Parks abounding in wildlife and magnificent lake and mountain scenery. Kampala, the capital, is well connected by road and rail and is 35 km from Entebbe International Airport.

Uganda, in the heart of East Africa, is full of the wonders of nature. With landscapes that range from snow capped peaks through broad savannah, rainforests to arid semi-desert, as well as wetlands of international importance.

Located on the western side of the Great Rift Valley, Uganda benefits from Flora and Fauna species of both East and West Africa in addition to having a wide variety of indigenous species. In western Uganda, the mountain ranges of the Rwenzoris and Virungas extend into the neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire. On the eastern border lies Mount Elgon, an ancient, extinct volcano.
